The Quantum Photonics Laboratory within Heriot Watt University consists of seven academic research group leaders with expertise across a range of platforms and applications in quantum photonics. Our specialist skillsets range from constructing sophisticated optical and electronic measurement apparatus for room- and low-temperature experimentation, through computational modelling using analytic and finite-element methods of diverse physical effects, to design and microfabrication of 2D material and semiconductor (SiC, Si, SiO2) microdevices. We perform microfabrication work in-house at the Heriot-Watt Cleanroom with advanced capability for photolithography/EBL, dry etching and thin film deposition.
